hey guys my grandpa built a small datacenter awhile ago for work but now its going un used and he wants to know if it would be good for mining cpu based coins like protoshares.

since i know nothing about cpu mining i was hoping you guys could tell me whether or not its good for mining and maybe how much he would make per day..

here are the specs

6 servers with Dual Quad Core Xeon 2.8ghz


hopefully somebody can tell me whether or not thats good haha since i know nothing about cpu's or cpu mining Smiley

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

just start mining, see how many coins a day you find, then work out the profitablilty.
Everything else will be a bit of a guess.

It looks like a good set up, but lots of people use cloud mining, so have hundreds of CPUs to mine with.
